High-precision field tracking control for many magnet families using resonant circuits ・ Main magnet system in J-PARC RCS challenges high-precision tracking control between bending and seven quadrupole families using resonant circuits. ・ Tracking error sources are mainly nonlinear characteristics because it is different for each type of magnet. Nonlinear characteristics in magnet (1) Eddy current effects ・ Eddy current effects produce delay field ・ To reduce eddy current loop at the coil and the core Coil : Development of the stranded conductor Core : Slit at core edge ・ To correct the delay field (2) Magnetic saturation ・ Magnetic saturation produces harmonic field ・ Harmonic field correction using harmonic current control ICFA mini-Workshop on Beam Commissioning for High Intensity Accelerators

Summery ・ Recent high-intensity proton synchrotron has many quadrupole magnet families for the purpose of flexible beam operation. ・ In J-PARC RCS, main magnet system consists of bending and seven quadrupole families excited from resonant circuits. ・ Eddy current effects from 25 Hz excitation was reduced and corrected. ・ The harmonic field correction using field measurement data was imperfection because of saturation problem of the bending magnet. ・ The harmonic field correction using measured tune data has been successfully demonstrated reduction of the tune variation during acceleration. ・ In case of present user operation (500 kW), the harmonic field correction was not used because the serious beam loss didn’t occurred. ・ The harmonic field correction will be useful method for high intensity operation (1 MW).
